Get ready to hear Michael Jackson classics like you’ve never heard them before. Just in time to add to your party playlists this Halloween, superstars of the metal world have joined forces to transform the King of Pop’s hits into headbangers on a new tribute album Thriller – A Metal Tribute To Michael Jackson.

“We made these awesome songs kick ass while still being faithful to the original versions,” former Quiet Riot member Rudy Sarzo said in a press release. “Michael Jackson’s music is synonymous with iconic rockers such as Eddie Van Halen, Steve Stevens and Slash,” all of whom played solos on classic Michael tracks. “So it’s only fitting that the rock community pays tribute to this legendary artist!”

With thrashing guitars, the thundering pulse of double bass drums and guttural growls of the most powerful vocalists in metal, the album finally gives metalheads all over the world a reason to headbang and raise the horns in the air to celebrate one of the biggest icons in popular music.

“I never thought I would hear myself doing a cover of ‘The Way You Make Me Feel,’ but it’s an honor and a dream come true,” said Fishbone’s Angelo Moore. “We put a different twist on it to give it a whole new light, or maybe I should say a whole new dark!”

Thriller – A Metal Tribute To Michael Jackson is available now.
